Im worried this wont get nearly the views it would in the saltwater section. A good cause and a fun day needs some exposure!

[Tips Up]

Anyone know how many tix were sold last year?
Will tix be available the morning of at Crab Shack?
Not sure if I can make it at this point but may do so last minute.

Thanks,
